The first step for designing a game is to deconstruct a game. Your team will play a game and look for the rules and strategies of the game using the MAD framework (see below).
Directions:
- Pick a team leader. The leader will create a collaborative Doc in Drive and share it with the rest of the team and the teacher. The Doc should be called "Deconstructing Board Games."
- Each person in the team should use a different font color. Please do not use light font colors or background colors which are difficult to read. Put your first name at the top of the Doc in your color.
- Team Leader: Open the assignment from Google Classroom and share it with your teammates.
- Team members: Answer each question in your color on the Doc.
- Team Leader: When finished, the team leader turns in the assignment. Each student will be graded on his or her work within the doc.
Mechanics
1. What are the basic rules?
2. What are the parts of the game?
3. What are the goals of the game?
4. How are the rules presented? Are they redundant? Printed on the box and/or on cards? How did the team decide which rules to include? Is there too much information? Not enough?
